Johnson's 1-yard touchdown run with 10:08 remaining gave the Razorbacks the lead for good after Tulsa overcame a double-digit first half deficit to take a 15-13 lead.

Arkansas (4-5) struggled to put the Golden Hurricane away following the score, though. Zach Hocker missed a 26-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter and the Razorbacks were stuffed on a fourth-and-1 on at the Tulsa 16 with just more than a minute left.

Chris Smith's sack forced a fumble by Tulsa quarterback Cody Green with 41 seconds remaining, which was recovered by Byran Jones to seal the win. The Golden Hurricane (7-2) lost their first game since their season opener.
